[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Exactly. I remember dating in my late twenties and early thirties. I met a couple of successful, fit men around my age who were divorced after unwise starter marriages. They were mortified. I feel so badly for eligible young women now, having to weed through all these old divorced dads who think they have a chance.[/quote]

We are all so glad you saved yourself for your cats and whomever you married in the gray twilight of your middle-age years. Now, you can look back (with the help of your meds) to courting in your twenties and early thirties when the world was new and fresh and full of men home from fighting the Great War.

Your post is not clear.  Were the men mortified to be divorced or mortified to date you?  Or both?[/quote]

Why are you so triggered by the idea that a young woman with her whole life ahead of her might not want a much older man with an ex wife and children? If you had a daughter who was, say, 27, maybe in med school, maybe a junior associate at a reputable law firm, maybe working toward a PhD, attractive, fit, interesting, and she told you that she was seeing a nearly forty year old man with two children, would you honestly be happy for her?

Why are you so hateful toward women who don't stroke your ego online?

Sort yourself out. It's pathetic.

Can you imagine your daughter calling to say “oh yeah I’m dating this great guy, can’t wait to see where it goes! Imagine if we get married! I will be saddled with his child support payments diminishing my household income and his other children reducing what we can provide for your future grandchildren.  There will be court dates and baby mama drama and if we get married half the guests will be making bets about how fast it crashes and burns”

Just what every parent wants for their child.
